Devlog: Week 19

Most of the focus this week has again been on preparing for a first private test build of the demo. This included adding support for persistent logging of errors and versioning.

There is of course a ton of content left to produce, mostly for the full game but it's high time that I got something out that someone else can try out.

My plan currently is to iron out the roughest edges in a private test version and open that up to public once it's good enough.

Even though my first vision of this game was very clear, it's taken me a surprisingly long while to really understand how its core experience should be realised. Hopefully I'm prepared now to see which feedback is relevant or not in terms of how well it aligns with it.
